Pink and Country by Emmanuelle Snow | Review
A little bit Country and a whole lot of HOT. Angsty, fun, romance. Grab the kick-off to a new series.
A mountain-getaway, simmering-with-desire celebrity romance, featuring a famous country music star and the bubbly and colorful girl next door.
A cabin in the mountains. A chance for a fresh start. A dropped towel that seals their fate.
Lost and confused, April Simmons has no clue how to turn her life around. When her best friend sends her to a cabin in the mountains for a month, alone, to work on herself, April has no idea that her handsome, yet broody and enigmatic neighbor is country music superstar Carter Hills.
Carter has everything other people would kill for: money, success, and fame. And yet, being at the top has never felt so lonely.
The Girl in the Golden Dress by Christine Paik
The lessons taught in this story are not unique to a particular culture. Hannah and all children can learn to be proud of their uniqueness and have the confidence to step forward and seize the moment.
The Black Widow’s Prey by N. S. Wikarski might be Book Three of the Gilded Age Chicago Mystery series, but it can certainly be read as a stand-alone story. I have not yet read the first two books in the series, but I enjoyed this one immensely.
Consulting detectives Evangeline LeClair and Freddie Simpson face their most challenging case yet when a priceless Egyptian artifact is stolen from a Chicago museum.
